The Capt. Snow Post, G. A. r.
festival held at Pleasant Grove on
Saturday afternoon and evening,
drew together large crowd, and re-
suited in an encouraging success
financially. The Rising Sun Band
enlivened the occasion by filling the
grove with music's charms. DR.
Gatchell of Lancaster county and G.
W. Wilson of Rising Sun made short
addresses, and the afternoon and
evening were devoted to sweet con
verse and ice cream. The candidates
put in a word for political favors and
the young gentlemen and younger
ladies pu. in a word for hymen's
court, and all went merry as a mar
riage bell, till the midnight chimes
told that the Sabbath had begun.
Friend Flitcraft delivered an able
discourse at West Nottingham
Friends meeting house in the forenoon
ing last first day. In the afternoon
Edward H. Magill delivered his lee
ture on "Higher Education" at the
same place. The lecturer claims
that Swarthmore College aims to
teach this higher education. This
College is located in Delaware coun-
ty, Pa, and is endowed by the
Friends yearly meeting of New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore. The
endeavor is to do Christian educat-
ing work along their line of religious
thought. President Magill's lectur
ing tour has for its object gathering
recruits for the College by giving
wider publicity to its noble aims and
work.
This week has been busy one
with our Gamers Carter & Brown
who run exclusively on corn have
been able to keep their yards clear
and the processing up with the re-
ceipts of corn; but D. G.. Mccoy has
been caught in glut and has suf-
fered considerable loss. He made
arrangements to put up both corn
and tomatoes, expecting the tomatoes
to commence coming in about the
wind up of the corn crop, but the
blushing ''love apples put in their
appearance almost as early as the
corn, and the farmers who had con-
tracts to deliver the produce piled
both corn and tomatoes in much
faster than the force and capacity of
the works could process it and hun
dreds of bushels of tomatoes and
large quantities of corn spoiled in the
yard. Mr.. McCoy's trouble did not
end here, and some defect in part of
his cans caused the loss of q large
number after being put up. The goods
are being shipped from the canneries,
there being a brisk demand this sea-
son for canned goods with fair
prospect of rise Of fifty per cent in
the price. The tomato crop is large
and the fruit fine and large out put
of these goods is Anticipated.

Give Them A Chance?

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful ma,
chinery it is. Not only the larger air.pas-
sages. but thousands of little tubes and
cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And
what they do, they cannot do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
of throat and nose and head and lung OBJ
structions, all are bad. All ought to be got
rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid
of them. That is to take Boschee's German
Syrup, which any druggist will sell you a
Is cents bottle. Even if everything else
has failed you, you may depend upon this
for certain.

A marked Endorsement of American art
from the Emperor of China, who has placed
his order for a Steinway Parlor Concert
Grand to be specially manufactured for

There has been dearth of amusements
this week, but tonight and tomorrow will
make up for what has been lacking. ''The
Brook" one of the brightest extravaganzas
written, will hold the boards tonight and
tomorrow. The story of the play may be
told in a single sentence. A party of actors
and actresses are out on picnic excursion,
and, meeting with many curious mishaps
and funny incidents, mainly connected with
their feeding, theYthrow in at every posi-
BILE opportunity a song, or duet, or a quin-
tette, or chorus, or a dance, and
so the piece runs on from begin
ming TO end, with musical illustrations

ment there are some sixteen or seventeen
musical selections. The company played in
Charleston last night. The NetoS and

from everyday life that one instantly recog-
nizes

ANOTHER ONE GONE WRONG.
Count Robert Pierrats Counterpart
Turns Up in Pennsylvania.


Count Robert Pierrat, who is now
languishing in Chatham county Jail, has a
counterpart, to certain extent, in Wilkes
barre, Pa The following account comes
from that city of another French "Comte"
who has been doing the part of le grand
gentilhomme:
Considerable excitement was created in
this city to-day by the arrest of George De
Wolf, who calls himself a count and who
has been here about six weeks, on a charge
of swindling. He is accompanied by his
wife, charming young woman of 20. He
was introducing D. Appleton & Co.'S finest
works, but did not seem very industrious i'll
the business He spent most of his time in
society, and had succeeded in obtaining an
entry TO the most fashionable circle.
He said that he was count and that on
the death of his father he would inherit
large estates in Alsace- Lorraine, but that
five years ago his father had driven him
from home on account of his refusal to wed
a wealthy but elderly baroness. He had
travelled extensively and finally came to
Philadelphia, where he wooed and welded
his wife q young lady of good family in
Germantown. Such was the story he told,
and he was extensively lionized here.
1t seems, however, that he had been sys-
tematically swindling Appleton & Co. by
SeuulllS III Eldlly D0BuS OIuolo, anu Oll Uuo
strength of these drawing his commission.
On Saturday the agent of the firm, Alfred
Baker, arrived here TO deliver the goods and
discovered the fraud. Acting under in
structions Mr.. Baker had De Wolf arrested,
and being unable to procure bail tho Count
was committed to the county prison. His
wife was distracted and vainly implored
their friends to come to his assistance. She
refuses to believe her husband is guilty of
any wrong doing and will intercedo with
Appleton q Co. in his behalf.
Count Pierrat did not weave the web of
romance into his cloth, nor did he obtain
admission into elite society, probably, be-
cause his tastes were so depraved as to in
cline him to the precincts and companions
found in Broughton street saloon, but so
far as his business relations are concerned,
he was the originator of the poorly con-
cocted scheme worked by the Pennsylvania
count. and the credit of it is his. 1t would,
no doubt, be touching thing to see these
two together.

Editor Morning Ne,0S: DEAR SIR-In
your last Sundays issue we called the atten-
ton of the public to the fact that they
might save money by giving us orders for
Xmas Turkeys, and that we would take
orders till the Goth at 15c. and 1Sc. per
pound. Now we have orders for at least
500 Turkeys and want to get orders for as
many more, and now ask our friends to call
and give us their orders. 1t is useless to
wait We cannot and will not be undersold.
We will take orders for 15c and 18c., and
guarantee that no one can or will sell for
less, and it they do we will meet them, no
matter what their prices are, if the quality
is the same, and we will go further and
promise you that the one who waits until
the last day will pay well for waiting. Re-
member, you will take no risk of being dis
appointed if you give us your orders. We
will positively close our books for orders
after the 21st at 15c. and 1Sc. After that
date we will gladly sell any one who calls,
but cannot promise to do SO at same price.
VIII if we can. Respectfully,

There are few persons who have not at
least heard of Tiffany's celebrated Jewelry
and Art House, and great many other
people imagine that nothing Of good quality
can be had except at Tiffanys. This is
fOllacious idea, as there isn't the slightest
necessity for sending from home for single
article in this line. We have right here as
fine and varied a stock of Jewelry, Dia-
monds, Bronzes, etc., as can be found any
lOhere in the United States, d at prices as
low as can be obtained at Tiff
fany's or elsewhere. We would di-
rect especial attention to our very
elaborate display of solid Silver Ware,
as also a select line of Plated Ware. We
make a feature of Ladies' Watches, Chains
and Charms, and those contemplating Holt
day gifts can be suited in every regard
Our display of the famous Lemaire's Opera
Glasses is very complete and this quality
and fine workmanship does not need com
mendation at our hands. We have some of
the prettiest and most novel conceits in
Bronze Ornaments that one often sees, and
invite attention to them. A gold-headed
Silk Umbrella makes neat and inexpensive
present, and we have them in great variety
of design of Ornamentation. 1t is not pos
sible to describe more than some of our
leading articles in limited space, and, in
fact, by a personal inspection only can the
extent OF our efforts this SsaSon be appre-
ciated. We do not allow the slightest mis-
representation, and where our guarantee is
placed it can be relied on to attach the re-
sponsibility that belongs to any first-class
house. Our many patrons of the past
are our best vouchers, and we certainly
intend to retain our place in their popular
regard. The rattle list for the magnificent
Diamond Necklace is filling up very rapidly
Bear in mind that a uisit to our establish
nlent carries no obligation to buy with it.
We are just as glad to see the chance Wis
itor as the most determined buyer.

SHE WOULDN'T GO WITH HIM.
The Way Colored Stepfather Tried
to Carry OFF Colored Girl.

The Way Colored Stepfather Tried
to Carry OF a Colored Girl
Floyd Brown, colored man from Savan-
nah, was up before the Charleston Recorder
day or two ago for attempting to abduct
and carry off Mary f. Sanders, a young
colored girl and a pupil of the Shaw School,
in Charleston.
After the dismissal of school on Tuesday.
Mary started to go home. Brown, how
ever, came up to her at street corner and
tried to get her to go home with HIM. She
resisted violently and made such an cutlery
that good deal of alarm was excited
among the other school children, which was
only allayed by the opportune arrival of a
policeman and the arrest of Brown.
Brown claimed that he is married to the
mother of the girl, who lives in Savannah,
and that he wanted to bring her back to his
wife. The girl went from here. but ha
been living in Charleston for some time in
charge OF her grandfather, an old colored
man by the name of William Sanders, and
was evidently very much averse to coming
back with her stepfather.
The Recorder, after hearing the facts Of
the case, sentenced Brown to S15 fine or
thirty days in jail for his high-handed at
tempt to carry the girl off against her will.
